Lessons from Pollyanna

We all need more joy and faith in our lives!

A beloved classic of children’s literature, Pollyanna, the best-selling 1913 story by Eleanor H. Porter, shows how orphaned child Pollyanna Whittier transforms an entire town for the better with her “glad game” — optimism, faith, and determination to look for the good in everything.

Yet the story is also so much more than that! If all you know of Pollyanna is the Disney film version or reading the book as a child, you may find reading it as an adult surprising. Pollyanna has so much to teach us about living a meaningful Christ-like life, growing spiritually, and experiencing deeper joy, the joy God created us to hold fast to and cherish.

Includes the full text of the original story plus:
– discussion questions for book groups
– suggestions for playing Pollyanna’s “Glad Game”
– a Bible-based devotional for each chapter to dig deeper into the lessons in the story
– personal journaling suggestions

A separate accompanying print journal is also available. The journal does not include the original story, but I have a free ebook version of the story only available for newsletter subscribers. Sign up here, or simply email me for the download page link if you already subscribe to my Christian romance newsletter.

I may be able to offer a discounted price or other special arrangements for groups wanting multiple copies. If your group is planning to work through the book, let me know (autumn at autumnmacarthur dot com), and I’ll see what I can do to help!

Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. Everyone who loves has been born of God and knows God. Whoever does not love does not know God, because God is love.
1 John 4:7-8
